Don’t miss the essence!

Silence increases the quality and the level of our ability to discern, allowing us to use our time, thoughts and qualities effectively and thus benefit all. In the silence of inner quietness, the intellect makes everything clear and then we just know how to act for the best.

Too much analysis and mental processing pollutes the clarity ofdiscernment; an overload of details makes us miss the essence.

All of us are players in the world drama with different roles. We can shape our roles into positive ones with spiritual wisdom. True spiritual knowledge is given to us by the Supreme. He is an Ocean of Knowledge. So, we are indebted to God because of this, because so many good things in our life would not be possible if the Supreme would not shower on us his love, his presence, his knowledge and his company.

You might ask that are our roles given to us by God? Roles are played by us but the roles are not given by God to us. As mentioned above, God only shares with us the way of shaping our roles because our physical body and relationships with others no longer permanently give us happiness. Also the roles that we play in our families as well as in our professional lives no longer permanently provide us happiness. On the other hand, there is sorrow in every sphere of life and if happiness exists also, it is not secured or safe. It is the time in the world drama when we can no longer say for sure, that tomorrow will bring no disturbing situations. So, we have to thank God because He can help us be happy in every sphere of life. Love for the Supreme should flow from our heart and we should make God a part of our lives and connect with Him at the present moment and make our positive destiny.

The one who is the master is the one who creates positive thoughts under all circumstances.

Expression:The one who is the master of himself is always able to create the right kind of thoughts according to the circumstance. Never is there the dependency on situations or people for the right kind of responses. Since there is mastery over thoughts, there is also mastery over all words spoken and everything done.

Experience: When I am able to be a master of myself, I am able to constantly create positive thoughts. I am in touch with the inner resources and I am able to make use of these resources in a timely way. I never get confused or pressurized with outside situations, but am able to be in control in all situations.

Letting go and restoring inner peace

To let go means putting a full stop to all the mental activity with one simple thought: 'I am a being of peace'.

Thought creates consciousness, so if we repeat this phrase slowly and attentively, our thoughts and emotions stop expanding and inner peace is restored. The essence of our being is peace - complete freedom from overload.

To return to this essential peace means observing the minds antics and deciding to put a full stop on them now; no lingering. Of course, the mind does not listen at first. We have to gently and firmly repeat the direction 'stop'. If we do not, those wasteful thoughts will continue to take away our peace.

The ability to bend without breaking

True tolerance makes us flexible. And when we are flexible we can accommodate and adjust to anything and anyone and maintain well-being. The ability to bend without breaking is linked to the amount of tolerance we develop. When we are fully flexible, we become able to adjust to the most unexpected, negative and difficult situations and people.
